When good luck strikes, it's unstoppable.
After meeting a benefactor like Hu Jiasheng yesterday, and today encountering Wang Rongfa who practically delivered a job offer, Tang Nannan felt overwhelmed.
"I know nothing about the power industry, nor do I have any work experience…"
"It's alright, nobody is born knowing everything. As long as you're willing to learn and have the right attitude, it's only a matter of time. Uncle has faith in you, do you have faith in yourself?"
To be honest, being a piano teacher was a career with a clear, unchanging ceiling.
But accepting Wang Rongfa's offer was different.
Initially, she might just be running errands or doing general clerical work. Over time, as she understood the product structure, she could try designing products and eventually become an electrical engineer.
Thinking bigger, she might even start her own company.
So, Tang Nannan agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you for trusting me, Uncle Wang. Since you've said so, how could I not have confidence? I'm still young, and as long as I work hard, I'm sure I can do it. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
"You're welcome, we're family. If your father hadn't helped me back then, I wouldn't have been able to start this company."
Wang Rongfa said with a smile, picking up his phone and dialing a number.
"Have some tea, I'll call someone over for you to meet."
Tang Nannan drank her tea, watching Wang Rongfa on the phone, her heart filled with excitement.
Finally, her day to stand tall had arrived.
The call ended, and they continued their conversation.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.
Both of them turned to look. Standing at the door was a young man of medium height, slightly overweight, dressed fashionably but with a perpetually sleepy look on his face.
The young man didn't see Tang Nannan. After knocking, he shuffled in.
"Dad, what did you want?"
Wang Rongfa put down his teacup and stood up, looking at him with displeasure.
"What time is it? Aren't watches for telling time? Raise your hand and look at what time it is?"
The young man pouted. "You're doing this again. Can't you just say what you want?"
"Do you think I enjoy this? If your mental state were any better, and your work attitude more serious, would I have to nag you every time?"
"Do you think I enjoy being nagged? You say the same things over and over; if you're not tired of hearing it, I'm tired of saying it! If you had any ambition yourself…"
"Alright, alright, stop scolding. I get it. Just tell me why you called me here."
The young man interrupted him. "I came at 8:30 as you instructed. I haven't even done anything, and you're already scolding me. What did I do to offend you?"
Wang Rongfa gritted his teeth in anger and motioned for him to come closer.
"Forget it, I'll introduce someone to you."
Tang Nannan stood up and faced the young man.
"Hello, I'm Tang Nannan."
Tang Nannan?
Wang Rongfa said, "Didn't I take you to Uncle Tang's house to visit before? This is your sister Nannan, don't you remember?"
"Nannan, this is my son, Wang Tengfei. He's a year younger than you. He also visited your house back then. You two even played together, remember?"
How could Tang Nannan not remember?
This little fellow was a chubby kid back then, fair and plump, with his eyes narrowed into slits.
Now that he had grown up, he was a bit thinner, and his features looked much better.
"I remember. Hello, Tengfei."
While the three were happily reminiscing, the General Manager Li from the technical department received Hu Jiasheng, courtesy of the boss's personal call.
"It's a bit late to start construction at this hour. Let's just allocate materials this morning and transport them, and the personnel will arrive in the afternoon."
All matters were settled by 11 AM.
Hu Jiasheng said goodbye to Manager Li and left the office, spotting Tang Nannan in the adjacent office.
Tang Nannan had been beautiful since childhood, and with the backing of her parents' status, she was considered a golden daughter. Wang Tengfei had a secret crush on her since he was young.
He thought he would never have a chance to see her again, but now, his father had delivered an opportunity right into his hands. How could he not seize it?
Hearing that she would be joining the technical department tomorrow, Wang Tengfei vowed to work diligently in the future.
As her eyes moved, Tang Nannan saw Hu Jiasheng passing by the glass door. She quickly stood up.
"My client is leaving. Excuse me, Uncle Wang. I'll come directly tomorrow then."
"Alright. I'll see you out."
"No, no, please stay seated. I've taken up your morning. How about this, Tengfei, you see me out."
Wang Tengfei quickly stood up and accompanied her out.
Hu Jiasheng stayed a moderate distance away, listening to Wang Tengfei earnestly talking to her as he escorted her to the elevator.
Tang Nannan promised repeatedly that she would come tomorrow and left her phone number. Then, the two parted ways.
Hu Jiasheng intentionally waited for Tang Nannan, lingering by the elevator. Seeing her approach, they entered the elevator together.
As the elevator doors closed, Hu Jiasheng looked at her expressionlessly.
"Why didn't you mention earlier that you knew the boss of this company?"
Assuming he already knew about her helping him, Tang Nannan told the truth.
"We haven't been in touch for many years. I saw you were taking a long time, so I inquired and found out they knew each other. I just casually mentioned it. I didn't expect him to be so conscientious and remember that my father had helped him back then."
Hu Jiasheng understood.
The upper class would always remain the upper class; the connections they accumulated were enough for their children to benefit from for a long time.
When parents are capable, the connections they build are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Therefore, as long as there is perseverance, people from backgrounds like hers have a great chance of rising up.
"He asked you to come work at his company, and you agreed?"
Tang Nannan explained her considerations. As they walked out together, Hu Jiasheng agreed with her thoughts.
"What you said makes a lot of sense. And I believe you can definitely do it well. Look, life is getting better, isn't it? Keep going."
He was genuinely happy for Tang Nannan.
If only Shen Min'er could have been saved back then, perhaps she would also be living a very good life now.
Tang Nannan thanked him, started the car, and turned on the air conditioning. They decided to wait for the car to cool down before setting off.
"What time are you going to the construction site this afternoon?"
"They start work at 1:30 PM."
"Then are we going back for lunch? If we cook ourselves, considering the travel time, it might be a bit tight."
Hu Jiasheng didn't want her to be too tired either. "Let's just grab something to eat outside."
Tang Nannan was very happy.
"The reason I found a job is all thanks to you. So, can I treat you to a meal today as a thank you?"
"The dishes might not be the best, but they represent my sincerity."
Hu Jiasheng refused her without thinking.
"I need to rest at noon and plan to find a high-class hotel. You can't afford it."
"Don't always think about repaying me. Focus on your work first. Once you earn money, you can pay me back then."
Although it was the truth, Tang Nannan didn't feel very comfortable hearing it.
